Can an office design contribute to productivity? How does the brain process a curved edge as opposed to one that’s pointed? Can your home make you healthy? What memories do you bring with you when you sit in a kitchen? Can the lighting of a restaurant make you lower your voice and lean in a little closer?
I’ve always been interested in the experience of space. Not just how it looks, but how you move through it, how you engage with it and how it makes you feel. My education and professional life has been dedicated to the exploration of this question. I studied Art History and Psychology with a focus on Cognitive Science at Georgetown University, before receiving an MFA in Interior Design from Pratt Institute. I had the privilege to work for multiple AD100 interior designers in NYC, where I continued my education and learned from some of the best and most inspiring in the field. Along the way I also worked as a project manager for a construction company. All of these experiences - the most practical and the most theoretical - contribute to every project.
I believe strongly that each project should be a reflection of the owner, not the designer. My role is to guide, to offer appropriate options, to educate and to deliver a project which satisfies your individual needs and desires.
